I did not think a day would ever come, not really, when I found myself no longer being surprised to answer the phone with “Hey, have you been arrested?” But this seems to be the way of things because the NYPD are really trying hard to break Occupy Wall Street. It’s horrifying, facing up to the fact that the cops, who we are supposed to protect civilians, are there to stop us, to destroy our peaceful movement, but after a certain number of arrests, macings, and beatings I can’t deny it anymore, the cops are trying to wage a war against us.
We aren’t going anywhere. The best way to fight their violence is with more peace.
